It all began with a bachelor's degree in systems science.

My career in IT started with application management in the field of data analytics. I worked with many different companies and services, analyzing data and showcasing it in interactive applications for end users. While I was not a fully-fledged UX designer, I had to use design principles to help end users understand the data and navigate the application effectively.

Certification

As my career progressed in the field of analytics, I leaned more toward the front end of applications and the design aspects. This led me to dive deeper, ultimately earning a certification from Google as a UX Design professional.

TEL Project

Showcasing my interest in UX design, I had the opportunity to work on a start-up for an internal project at my current company, TMC. I took on the role of UX Designer and was later promoted to Lead UX Designer by the project manager. I am responsible for designing an application geared toward sustainable living.

Tools and applications i use or have worked with:

Design: Figma - Adobe XD - Sketch - Sketchbook Pro

Analytics: Tableau - Power BI - QlikView - QlikSense - Excel

What do i mean when saying multidisciplinary UX Designer?

I base that statement on the fact that I have years of experience outside of UX. I bring knowledge from data analytics, particularly since my role has been highly communicative, involving collaboration with people from all over the world. My position was never confined to strict analytics alone. Over the years, I have transitioned fluidly between design, analysis, and management, progressively developing my design skills. I believe my background offers a unique edge as a UX designer, as it allows me to understand other aspects of the business and communicate effectively with all stakeholders.
